You are Peter and on this rock I will build my Church

It wobbles and falls! But when you build it on solid ground, it stays strong. Join Deacon Justin Malewezi for a short children's homily on Matthew 16:13-20. Discover why Jesus called Peter "the Rock" and how making Jesus the strong foundation of our lives helps us stand firm, practice kindness, and build a loving community together.
